“Panetta’s statement only makes sense if there were those in the military or elsewhere who considered or urged deploying forces into harm's way, and that those individuals were overruled because of the lack of real-time information. Take another look at what Panetta said: “As a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.” In other words, Panetta is acknowledging forces could have been put at risk, but that a decision was made not to do so.”

Why would we have a drone hanging around watching?

How did we know we would need a drone hanging around watching?

Who ordered the drone to hang around and watch?
